my second hack (i canceled Super Zario world)
story: Mario found a mysterious pipe at a hill in the
mushroom kingdom, Mario went in it and he dicoverd that
the new world had classic & simple GFX! (expet for enemys)
But before Mario got in the Pipe he saw bowser in his Koopa
clown car with peach! So Mario followed Bowser to this new
strange land...

And at least the OW looks like it's not a pile of garbage like most newbie OWs.

I think this has potential.. You obvioously know how to use ExGFX (which alot of people can't figure out).

With a little better Pallette/GFX selecting, and a slightly more refined OW, you could produce a good hack.

My advice:

Make new GFx for the enemy.
Get classic SMB1/2/3 GFX
Fix your OW paths (they make the island look very sqaure near the top and rigth side)
Don't do all Remake levels. We don't wanna play SMB1 all over again.

I just love the cliffs cut off by the yellow paths, and how the edges are too dark, and how sparse decoration it has, and the lack of cliff, "lines."

Onyx, I understand what you mean, but this feels like SMW hack shovelware. Being halfway done in a few weeks shows that he's rushing this out the door with little attention to detail. If he's going at this rate, he can obviously slow down to improve.

No. People are giving fine criticism on how to improve this without being overly rude. We're not all going to lie and tell him it's good when it obviously isn't. This is a SMW Hacking forum, not Sesame Street.

It's been stated that the overworld is too square, paths are cut off, level remakes = do not want - and now I'm going to add that my own tidbit. Those Koopas aren't really custom, they are SMB1's with ever-so-slight modifications, and they don't really look too good in my opinion. If you are going for custom GFX, you should either completely draw a new one, or take one (say, those SMB1 Koopas) as a base, and then tweak it so it at least SEEMS different.

Yeah. That's your feedback from everyone. If you use it right, you'll be fine.

We've become too accustomed to awesome and completely original ideas. Certain ideas will probably seem minuscule. Whereas I believe this hack will not suffice, I do have some suggestions for 554.

Don't announce your original ideas. If you're new to hacking, just run through a hack or two and better yourself in the areas you need it. I personally went through three hacks (not complete) before I ever even announced one.
